The kendas are very cheap, they are the go-to for cheap bikes. Leave the Haro on the front for a while and let him go to town on the kenda on the rear with skids and stuff! Once the are more worn, pick up something else. There isn't a massive market for 20" mtb tyres, but you might find something that looks like a 'real tyre' in a BMX range - although these tend to look to have less grip.

The front tyre on the Haro still has a bit of grip left, I might leave that on and try the Kenda on the rear and see how he goes. He's not going flat out on the trails or doing skids (yet!) but that rather bald rear tyre is slipping very now and then.

I might let out some air pressure too, kid + bike only = 31kg

When you are driving your car, you are not stuck IN traffic - you ARE the traffic!!!

I figured that out with my kids. They are so light that they pretty much can't get pinch flats. Think about 20psi, especially with the kenda, they are quite a stiff tyre.
